Would you trade one of our two 5th round picks for Minshew right now…..

Hell, I and others were saying it all offseason. He was arguably superior to Sam, but Sam was the 1st rounder and Minshew a 6th. Several analytical categories indicated that Minshew was the better bet. Unfortunately, Rhule was thinking squarely inside the box, and now we're screwed again (lost draft picks and 18 mil) because of it.

It's too late for that. The premise behind that argument was to setup a competition in the off-season. 

Instead Sam was given the reigns, a contract extension, and the freedom to not play much at all the entire preseason. 

 

 

Same poo they did with Teddy. Which is why Teddy picked us over a potentially much better fit for him in Chicago.  

And I agree, if we were gonna get Minshew, it should've been done in the offseason to allow for a legit QB competition in camp.  And for the record, I think Minshew is and always has been a pro QB, which is more than I can say for Darnold.

Wanted him over Sam, bump any thread and theres plenty of me saying the same over and over.  

Rhule was scared that Minshew would have won over the players and made the 2nd, 4th, 5th draft picks for Sam look like a waste. 

Me too. Would have been nice to swap firsts and land one of their seconds and Minshew. Of course we would have needed to use one of those picks  on a lineman. Not sure when that’s going to happen.

      Statistical reasons to Scratch Ickey from returning as a LT--Even in 2027

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I agree.  He is solid. Another player I think is underrated and with good reason (I will explain): Monroe Freeling UGA Many have him the fifth-rated OT, but I would put him at 2 or 3.  Reason?  He played the season with an ankle issue and still kicked arse.  Here is a write-up that describes him--the injury, in my view, has him rated lower than if healthy all season. OT Monroe Freeling Georgia | 6'7" | 315 lbs Ht:6'7" Wt:315 lbs Class:JR Age:21 (25-Jul-2004) Monroe Freeling earned Second-Team All-SEC honors from league coaches for his performance during the 2025 season. Starting 12 of 13 games, he was twice named SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week after dominant showings against Auburn and Texas, notably grading out at 80 percent with zero pressures allowed against the Longhorns. During the 2025 season, he managed a nagging ankle injury suffered against Kentucky but remained a cornerstone for an offense that ranked first nationally in fourth-down conversions. As a draft prospect, he is recognized for his exceptional reach, mobility in pass protection, and "road-grading" power in the running game. While he has proven to be a reliable starter at left tackle, he also offers significant versatility having started at multiple positions along the line during the 2024 season. Here are some others I like (mostly developmental, but we have at least a year--we hope--at RT)   Your boy: The Panthers were looking at Barber at the SR Bowl practices, I believe.  Good run blocker--needs work in pass pro.  A RT candidate? Shelton would be an ideal swing OT. I really like Bowry.  Footwork is huge for a T, and we do a lot of zone blocking.

      We could/should re-sign BC and Nijman and draft 2.  There are 5 or 6 expected to go after round 1 that I really like.   Some are a year away, so I would give Moton an apprentice now.

      I think (April 2025) the Panthers already gave Ickey his 5th year deal for 2026, a $17m fully guaranteed.  This, in my view, eliminates the practicality of signing a free agent, as if any ever make it to free agency anyway.  So we have a year before deciding on Ickey's next deal / future.
